Looking to deepen your skills or explore new creative directions in intentional camera movement photography?
Our mentoring program is designed to guide you every step of the way, whether you’re just starting out or hoping to refine your unique artistic voice.
Mentoring with us is a flexible, personalised experience that covers everything from hands-on techniques and practical tuition to more advanced topics like shaping your creative vision, storytelling through your work, and even how to prepare your art for exhibitions. Each session is tailored to your needs and interests, so you’ll get just the right support to move forward with confidence.
With the option to work with either Kaisa Sirén or Morag Paterson—or both if you choose a series of sessions—you’ll benefit from our combined expertise across different aspects of the art form. Whether you’re interested in the technical side, visual storytelling, or curating and presenting your work, we’re here to support your journey in a way that’s welcoming, accessible, and responsive to what you want to achieve.
Mentoring is more than just instruction—it’s a collaborative and inspiring process that helps bring out the best in your work. If you’re curious or have questions, reach out! We’re always happy to discuss how mentoring could be the right fit for you.
